[Q] Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M keeps rebooting - General Questions and Answers

Here's my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M that keeps rebooting after trying to install a custom recovery so that I can root it.
What I did
I followed the steps (1 to 11), of Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy S mentioned in the following page:
wiki,cyanogenmod,org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
After that, I simply unplugged the usb, there were no errors, and removed the battery and now what I get is the simply that my device reboots after the boot logo. IF I hold down volume + home + power I can boot in download mode. However, I cannot boot in recovery or in normal mode !
Here's a video of what it is doing youtube,com/watch?v=Wie9eZYyECw
What I have tried
Removing the battery and reboot the cellphone
I tried to redo step 7, heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot, but I still got the same error

If that doesn't work, can I return to the default recovery (if that exist) and if yes, how can I do that ?

Ok ok. I have two questions for that, first, do you know where I can find the stock rom. And secondly, can I do that via download mode since it is the only thing I can access ?

[Q] How to fix samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 boot loop

Hello, My samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 stops at android after booting. It wont show anythings but keeps loading at android. How do i fix it.
Hold the volume up and power key together till you enter recovery, then restore backup. If you don't have backup then reflash the rom. You can also try clearing cache and dalvik cache before it. And i think it is the wrong section
---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------
Do press the thanks button
No recovery
There is no clock workmod recovery installed so i cant recover any backup. It was only rooted
Use stock recovery, wipe, if that doesn't work do a restore.
Pp.
sent from my microwave running lollipop 5.0.
Mostly this problem can be solved by just doing a factory reset in the stock recovery..
If it doesnt help there is only 1 way
-installing stock firmware using odin.
Follow these steps.
1.download the stock firmware from this site.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
2. Now download odin app in ur pc/laptop.
http://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip
3. Now charge your device above 60%, and go to download mode (power button + vol down)
And connect your device to ur pc.
4. Open odin and then select the firmware you downloaded from PDA button.
5.make sure you dont check/uncheck anything in there.just select the firmware and click start.
6.during this process it is best not to disturb your device, and if you see it rebooting dont worry it is common it will reboot several times if necessary.
7.once it is completed it will show pass in the pc.
And your device must have to reboot automatically, now remove the usb cable.
8.give it some time for booting, if it doesnt get booted even after 20 mins you can just go to the recovery mode,this time you will see the stock recovery, there perform a factory reset
9.now you can reboot,you will come to the stock firmware you had at first.
HURRAY YOU SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM!!!!
Note- remember to install your USB drivers if odin doesnt recognize your device.
Always have your device charged above 60%

[Q] P6200 Bootloop Problem. Need to recover files.

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (P6200).
The device was stuck in a bootloop sequence.
It boot until enter the main screen then it freeze then the screen is off then start the boot again.
I really need to recover the files from internal storage.
I've tried copy the file when it enter the main screen. But when I choose the folder, the device start to reboot itself.
I've tried using ADB. Get my self in recovery and the ADB can recognize the device. But the main problem is, I can't access the /data folder because I don't have any access. I tried SU on ADB Shell but I get Segementation Fault. I tried adb root and get ADBD cannot run as root in production builds.
is there anyway to save the data ?
Thank you
Write CWM witch Odin, then run CWM and plug in to PC and mount internal storage.

Wow, thanks !
Will try it right now.
I've tried the method, and when in download mode, the screen stuck in 100% download. But not reboot it self.
in Odin setting, I untick the auto reboot option and f reset time.
I was waiting for a while, still nothing happened. Then I manually turn off the device by holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
When I powered up the device again, the recovery still the same (Android Recovery 3e).
How long is the uploading progress take to complete ?
To flash CWM you need a few seconds
watch this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUAEFDYG4uk it is the same method on Glaxy S2.
Check or reinstall your Samsung drivers.

sorry for the link, I cannot write down a direct link in here because my current post in XDA is less than 10.
I've tried using Odin several times and still stuck in that screen.
If you Plug-In galaxy tab to PC then ID:COM flash in yellow like this screen odin connect? If not, you can't send any file to galaxy.
Last Chance: you can flash official firmware (from sammobile.com) with Odin, remeber do not select "re-partition" and "PIT" option, after flash u can ran your TAB and seve all data.

Yes, the Odin flashed yellow, and the report was a success.
The loading bar in the device is showing progress from 0 a 100 percent full bar, then it stuck there. Not like the others that automatically rebooting.
I don't know about flashing with official FW, i'am afraid that it will remove all my data.
Are you sure it wont remove my data ?
All your data will be safe, odin flash only system data files.
when I updated my TAB from ICS to JB witch Odin, after update must be meke FACTROY RESET to erase all data files on TAB.

i forgot to factory reset before i downgrade the os with odin. now the phone just stuck on the booting screen. i can get to download mode but not to recovery mode. anyone have some solution?
You could try flashing everything from the firmware you download from sammobile.com (BL + AP + CP + CSC (not HOME_CSC)) + check re-partition in Odin.
It will wipe everything. Be sure to download the correct firmware supposed by your hardware, else bad things may happen.

You can download the firmware from Sammobile, and flash it via ODIN, this should hopefully get you back to Stock OS.
You could also try to flash twrp img via ODIN and try to access Recovery Mode again.
Goodluck

i flash the firmware from sammobile. but my phone just wont boot. i cant shut the phone down as it's internal battery
Have you flashed the Appropriate Bootloader and Modem?
At what screen is it stuck at? You could use the Volume Up Key plus home, plus Power Button to force boot it.
Here check This link out, it might help you.
Good luck

Well aslong as you can turn it on download mode you should be fine. If i was you i would download samsung kies 3 and put the phone in download mode and try to the firmware recovery from the top left section in the app. This will flash back the original firmware that came with the phone.,
---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
And if you flashed the CSC then you phone should be wiped when you boot it but maybe you flash the wrong file but like i said hard boot your device and set it to download mode and you should be fine

Question No Download Mode - bricked S21+

Hi,
I've managed to brick my S21+, after a mistake during flashing of a newer twrp version with Odin.
I basically placed the (patched) stock AP file in the AP slot instead of the TWRP tar, and the vbmeta_disabled_R.tar in the userdata slot.
After reboot, I got a boot loop, and I am not able to boot to recovery or to download mode as before when using the key-combo.
Previous to this flashing, I had the TWRP 3.6 and Lineageos 19 GSI for about 6 months, with no issues.
My question - how can I get to Download mode now? and is it possible that I ran over my recovery?
Is it possible that the download mode is no longer available due to the AP flashing (no BL, CSC files)?
Appreciate any suggestion and help!
connect it to the PC and do the combination that you did before, that is volume up and volume down pressed at the same time, that same thing happened to me, when I wanted to update twrp better install the stock first and then the new recovery, so you take advantage of updating the firmware of the phone and the new recovery
Strangely, the recovery entry or download does not work without being connected, so I recommend you better install the magisk to enter the recovery from there, otherwise you will have to do that process when you want to update or install custom roms

Thanks for your reply!
the key-combo in S21x are with USB plugged to PC, otherwise recovery cannot be reached, unless using ADB command. I have tried this many times since the wrong Odin flash occurred, but nothing happens except from reboot, warning screen (about unofficial software) and reboot again.
Even previous to the bricking, typically in order to get to download mode in this device, you need to go through recovery first and then select download mode. Alternatively, adb reboot download command, but neither are now an option.
So my last resort was a USB-JIG device to get to download mode - but I don't know of any such device for a USB-C connection.
Anyone here has experience with that? or can direct me to such a device for the newer Samsung models?
Thanks!

Thanks for your help! - indeed the PLUS and MINUS volume keys with the usb cable plugged in gets you directly to d/l mode. I just tried it with the power key all the time, as in previous models, and that got me nothing.
Issue solved!
